Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the goddamn feds so the Nucky doesn't have to! I have people skills!! I am good at dealing with people!!! Can't you understand that!? What the hell is wrong with you people!!?

No one misses Gyp. He's the Carl of Boardwalk Empire, you just spend the whole season hoping a zombie gangster eats shoots his overacting, plot-dragging ass so you don't have to wonder if he's in the house actually going to do something this episode besides faff around in a bedroom in an arbitrarily-selected building.

He will play Roy Phillips, a wealthy out-of-town businessman who catches the eye of Gillian Darmody (Gretchen Mol).

Run away Roy! She's crazy!

I am confused. Didn't Gyp inject her with a lethal dose of heroin at the end of last season?

Yeah, I guess it didn't take. That was a little odd in that she must have had a dose sufficient to kill Gyp who was about twice her size.

Seemed like sloppy writing to me, which would be very uncharacteristic for that show.

Actually it was subtle writing. Remember the Jimmy lookalike? She killed him by drowning him after she shot him up. His dose wasn't intended to be lethal. Same MO with Gyp. Her intention was to incapacitate Gyp with the heroin, and then kill him with the pending asphyxiation play while he was to high to physically resist her....

and contrary to the wrongest wronger in wrongville, Jim_C, Gyp was freakin great. Every scene he was in was electric. That show likes to kill of all the best characters.

RIP Jimmy, Owen, Commodore, Gyp and Manny

Wife and I discussed this as we watched. He take on that is that Gillian planned to kill Gyp much like she killed Jimmy. Drug him to make him easy to control and then kill him another way (jimmy drowning... Gyp ????)

I thought he deserved a better death scene - where he's tied to a post with his intestines slowly pulled out by a Model T (driven by Nucky, of course).

I thought his death scene was good, the only way it would've been better is, while he's peeing and singing his Barney Google song, to have his face suddenly explode from a bullet, fired of course by Richard Harrow from several hundred yards away. That's the only way it could've been better. But as it was, it worked well, sort of an ignominious, pathetic way to go. Like a chump, taken out by an underling.

I thought she died. I was really ok with this.

A surprising number of people didn't pay attention to that part of Margate Sands. She was alive, and sitting on the floor in the hallway after Harrow left, and she said some weird crap to Nucky, sort of reliving when she was raped by the Commodore.

I already miss Gyp

The episode from first season when he shoots the guy from across the street through the window and through the water pitcher is when I developed my first man crush. That shiat was awesome!
